[Serum bile acids in the newborn: our experience].
The study of bile acids in the newborn permits to the AA. to point out that the beginning of the feeding does not influence the "physiologic cholestasis" of the first days of life. Neonatal cholestasis is the expression of the immaturity of bile acids synthesis and hepatic and intestinal carriage, which is not correlated with the maternal conditions. Furthermore, the AA. discuss about the analogy between cholestasis and "physiologic hyperbilirubinemia", from which it differs for the longer time. In fact, the maturation of the enterohepatic circle occurs very slowly under possible dietetic factors influences.
